essentially no one looks worse in all this than Biden, followed closely by the tiresome, morally bankrupt blue wave scolds who shouted at all of us about how Biden couldn’t do anything

This week has confirmed my suspicion that Biden’s Middle East policies will look worse, and will be even more embarrassing for Democrats, with the passage of time.

Thought to myself "I gotta print out an excerpt for the reading tonight" and then remembered i dont ever have to do that again because it's already printed. In a book. It's a book now. I can just...read from my book. Insane

Thanks @delaneynolan.bsky.social & @thelensnola.bsky.social for covering this.

To be clear: genocides are bad for population health and influence susceptibility & transmission of infectious disease. Science is clear. International consensus: this is a genocide.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
